Teachers will be excited by this new resource by Maggie Beddow and Mimi Coughlin at CSU Sacramento for 5th grade on Juan Bautista de Anza's expedition bringing settlers to California at the same time Americans in the east were declaring independence.  In addition to the resource, the Occasional Paper includes three lessons and how they were implemented in the classroom.
